Today, I was told by my manager to make sure the supervisor on shift does his job. Last month I was told I couldn't be a supervisor. Apparently I can supervise someone who earns more than I do though. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boss told me that people from work have been complaining about me. Apparently, I'm not doing part of their jobs for them, and the other manager sometimes does. FML
Today, my job as a supervisor has become increasingly ridiculous because one employee doesn't want to do the tasks I give her. My supervisor tells me to keep working with her and giving her work. When she goes directly to him, he tells her she doesn't have to do them. FML
Today, I got yelled at by my supervisor for getting an hour of overtime yesterday. The reason I had an hour of overtime was because that same supervisor made me stay late. FML
Today, I was given my marching orders because I corrected my supervisor on something he was actually doing wrong. It seems I deserve this for "not learning to obey my immediate superiors." FML
Today, I went to my boss with concerns that my manager is dumping her responsibilities on me. He agreed and told me to just do whatever she wants. She gets paid twice as much as me to talk on her cellphone all day. FML
Today, I learned that my boss is training one the the trainees I trained to be supervisor. Everyone supports this, including me. So what's the issue? I was promised that position almost 2 years ago. Apparently, I train people well enough to promote, but I'm not good enough to be promoted myself. FML
Today, I was told that couldn’t become assistant manager of my job anymore. I already told my family I was going to be one, and they'd all said how proud of me they were. FML
Today, I had an hour-long meeting with my manager where she informed me the reason I had not been promoted is because she felt that people would not like to work for me, because I would, "make them do their job." FML
Today, my supervisor told me off for doing something. When I reminded her that she told me to do it, she yelled at me for correcting her. FML
Today, my boss found out I had applied for a much better paying job. He told me I'd do a better job and make more money there. Then he fired me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Give your manager false info, get your supervisor fired and take his job. Simple.

Yes. Because sabotage is always the answer. Shame on you, Sir.

It is a plan, I did not say it was a good one :)

I like most people only have (if we are honest) one or two excellent ideas a year. This does not seem worthy to use one of them up on :)

@16 No, but only because I had just gone to the bathroom before reading that.

Or more likely they know OP would do a wonderful job and are afraid OP would request a pay raise so they hired a horrible supervisor thinking the supe they hired would never bother asking for more money than he/she makes now.

I would let the supervisor fail.

Sounds like the current supervisor needs to be fired if you have to watch to make sure he watches everybody else correctly.

I feel Ya OP. This year, the hiring wage at my company has been increased. That means, I am training people who are making more money than me, also considering I have accumulated three years of annual raises. Working for people sucks.

That's pretty unfair they haven't raised everyone else's wages. :/

Inquire as to why you can't be a supervisor. Is it because you don't work enough hours? Or have you not been with the company long enough? It may not be that he doesn't think you're qualified; it might just be that you don't meet the job description's minimums.

There's no such thing as strict minimums on time with the company or previous experience. If you're desirable enough, companies will pay reasonably to keep you. That being said, the manager could be too incompetent to realize this.
